ANNEMARIEKE VAN DRIMMELEN

Biography

Annemarieke van Drimmelen is an Amsterdam native, born to Dutch parents in Australia in 1978. A full-time photographer since 2005, she divides much of her time between Amsterdam and New York.

Van Drimmelen’s work is a quest to portray real intimacy. Her own career as a model has given her a fluency in fashion imagery and the confidence to follow her own vision. Her unique sensibility combined with her unaffected warmth creates an indefinable and uncommon level of trust with her subjects.

Departing from traditional fashion photography Annemarieke Van Drimmelen’s work is sophisticated, romantic and narrative. Of her work she said, “With my photos I try to show the personality of the models more than what they can transform into. I try and let go of any idea I have of how the moment should look like when I’m shooting,” she says. “That’s when the picture seems to come alive."
